Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The part B to the fastener consists of a plate, D,secnred, by screws or other\vise,rto the door-face, with the caselor tube E on its under side countersunk in such door.. F, a wedge arranged to slide in case E, lwhich wedge has Aa knob or handle, G, secured to it, thatproj'ects through a slot, H, in the plate D.

'The part C is formed of a plate, I,'provided with -a case, J, upon its under side, which, when the plate is secured to the'door-frame, is -countersnnk therein. In -t-his case J, a catch-lever is arrangedv to slide, a knob, L,
